How to Register
Please Note, the training workshops Using Sapelo2 Cluster at the GACRC and Use Linux on Cluster are ONLY offered to new users who need computing user accounts on the GACRC Sapelo2 cluster, or any current users who have never attended the GACRC Sapelo2 cluster new user training before. Please ask your group PI/UGA faculty member to send us a request for you, using the GACRC User Account Request form at https://uga.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=25839
If you want to attend Python Basics and Conda basics training sessions, please send us a request using the GACRC Training Request form at https://uga.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=25852 . In your request, please tell us which session(s) you want to attend.
The GACRC is going to host other training workshops and seminars covering various HPC topics, including HPC fundamental introduction, Linux introductory III (Linux working environment and utilities), Bioinfomatics applications on Sapelo cluster, Perl, R, C/C++/Fortran programming, etc., in the near future. We will announce those events when they are scheduled.
